Man Indicted On Merrimack Child Sexual Abuse Images Charges: Hillsborough County Superior Court Roundup (patch.com) — Nashua residents feature prominently in a new round of Hillsborough County Superior Court indictments, including alleged habitual driving offenses, drug distribution conspiracy, thefts from local retailers, and a knife-point threatening incident. Several other defendants from nearby towns face charges tied to incidents in Nashua, highlighting ongoing public safety and criminal justice activity affecting city neighborhoods and businesses.
2. Donchess talks housing, homelessness and hard budget choices at ‘Beer With Jim' (inklink.news) — Mayor Jim Donchess used his latest “Beer with Jim” meetup to explain Nashua’s tight budget, rising costs, and ongoing push for more housing while highlighting new riverfront access at Renaissance Riverfront Park. Residents pressed him on homelessness, downtown safety, stalled projects, and casino revenue, as the city weighs hard choices on schools, services, and future redevelopment.
3. Big casino expansion plan for Sheraton Nashua before Planning Board June 4 (inklink.news) — Nashua’s Planning Board will review a major June 4 proposal to transform the Sheraton Nashua into the expanded Gate City Casino Hotel, adding a large casino, four restaurants, and a parking garage.

4. Back to 1993: House Republicans' Plan to Phase Down the BET (nhjournal.com) — Nashua’s state senator Cindy Rosenwald is pushing back on an automatic Business Enterprise Tax cut trigger while backing more nursing home funding that could affect local property taxpayers. Lawmakers are debating a bill that would raise the BET filing threshold for about 4,500 small businesses, boost Medicaid nursing home reimbursements starting June 2026, and potentially phase the tax rate down if future surpluses materialize.
5. State House Dome: GOP disunity results from a 'failure to communicate' (unionleader.com) — Statehouse negotiations over key bills have broken down, including a proposal backed by Nashua senators and hospitals to regulate patient transfers from free‑standing emergency rooms planned for the city.
